The Newton Institute, where Andrew Wiles announced his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem on 23 June 1993, was opened in 1992. The rest of the site was designed by Edward Cullinan architects and completed in 2003. It consists of 340 offices in 7 "pavilions," grouped around a "central core" with lecture rooms, common space, and a grass-covered roof, as well as a gatehouse. The design won awards including the British Construction Industry Major Project Award 2003, the David Urwin Design Award 2003, the Royal Fine Art Commission Trust Specialist Award 2003, the RIBA Award 2003, and is popular with the mathematicians who use it.
